Installation Manual

STILE

Tin snips or a "nibbler" type electric tool are recommended for eld cutting Stile panels. Cutting the steel

generates slivers or metal chips. These slivers and metal chips must be immediately removed from the Stile

panels because they will damage the nish and shorten the life of the product.

One method of preventing this problem is to ip the Stile panels over when cutting. This allows the sliv-

ers and metal chips to be brushed from the back side and avoids damaging the paint on the top side of the

panels.

CAUTION

All product surfaces should be free of debris at all times. Installed surfaces should be

wiped clean at the end of each work period. Never cut panels over metal surfaces.

Metal shavings will rust on the surface, voiding the warranty.

All painted panels and ashings have a factory applied baked on nish. Handling and installing panels may

result in some small scratches or nicks to the paint nish. Touch-up paint is available in matching colors

from Metal Sales. It is recommended that a small brush be used to apply touch-up paint to those areas

that are in need of repair. Touch-up paint does not have the superior chalk and fade resistance of the fac-

tory applied paint nish and will normally discolor at an accelerated rate. Aerosol paint should not be used
